Does Bambu lab transparent petg just suck as a material? (feddit.it)

A while ago I bought a roll of transparent petg "the filament" by spectrum. Wonderful, it printed great, shiny, smooth. I loved it.

Then I took advantage of the promotion on the Bambu lab website "4 rolls are discounted + free shipping" and I bought their transparent petg.

I opened the vacuum bag, loaded immediately in the printer and it strings and pops. Settings are correct as the slicer has a dedicated profile for this roll.

Their website says "warning: dry before using" - they mean that it comes already too moist from the factory?

I've had good results with most of Bambu's filament, BUT, it comes wet. Just dry it thoroughly first and you'll save yourself a lot of stress.
